[PATCH] reorder struct pipe_buf_operations
Fields of struct pipe_buf_operations have not a precise layout (ie not
optimized to fit cache lines nor reduce cache line ping pongs)
The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the
structure, so all following fields have a large offset. This is
unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small
offsets relative to a base register. On x86 for example, 7 bits offsets
have smaller instruction lengths.
Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have
small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure.

Improve the scalability of the fpswa code that rate-limits

1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never

EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line.
The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test

2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because
multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at

[PATCH] remove config ordering/dependency between ucb1400-ts and sound subsystem
Commit 2d4ba4a3b9aef95d328d74a17ae84f8d658059e2 introduced a dependency
that was never meant to exist when the ac97_bus.c module was created.
Move ac97_bus.c up the directory hierarchy to make sure it is built when
selected even if sound is configured out so things work as originally
intended.

There seems to be a value in both allowing the kernel to determine
the base offset of the crashkernel automatically and allowing
users's to sepcify it.
The old behaviour on ia64, which is still the current behaviour on
most architectures is for the user to always specify the address.
Recently ia64 was changed so that it is always automatically determined.
With this patch the kernel automatically determines the offset if
the supplied value is 0, otherwise it uses the value provided.
This should probably be backed by a documentation change.

Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for
keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people
who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile
in kexec.
The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.
Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c
This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.
